I’ve been invited to speak at the Streaming Media West conference in Silicon Valley on November 17. I’ll be discussing the successful multichannel video commerce strategy I developed for PFI and the branded video commerce portal developed by myself and Myke Bates. From increases in conversion rates to the fantastic results we have in the SERPS I will be covering the benefits of video commerce in online retail and the future of interactive video commerce.
